Back in February local out-sounds label Ehse Records organized one of the best things to put on ice since whiskey. The inaugural Ehse on Ice party hit the Dominic “Mimi” DiPietro Skating Rink at Patterson Park Feb. 26 and featured performances by Sky Crab, Secret Secrets, and a mirthfully bonkers set from the always dependable Needle Gun.
The overall vibe, though, was the masterstroke. Imagine your average Red Room-meets-H&H building gallery opening crowd. Now give those people skates and put them on ice. If you’re not smiling at this moment you have no soul.
That vibe may be considerably jacked up for tonight’s Ehse on Ice, Part Deux. This time the ice-skating fun train stops at the Mount Pleasant Ice Arena and features the powerhouse lineup of Snacks, Beastmaster, and Weyes Bluhd, the solo noise-drone moniker or ex-Jackie-O Motherfucker member Natalie Mering.
Ehse on Ice, Part Dexu hits the Mount Pleasant Ice Arena (6101 Hillen Road) July 9, 9:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m..
